Welcome to Nova Scotia's photostream

Nova Scotia invites you to discover a place like no other.

It is our pleasure to introduce you to the scenic beauty, rich heritage and vibrant culture of Nova Scotia.

We take great pride in our province and invite you to discover a maritime travel destination like no other. The seven regions of Nova Scotia lead you around the province, where you’ll explore our breathtaking shores - from towering cliffs and long peaceful beaches to picturesque bays and charming villages.

There is no shortage of ways to discover our natural beauty and enjoy our renowned hospitality and charm. Come and join us as we celebrate our maritime music and culture at more than 700 Nova Scotia festivals and events throughout our province. Our Celtic Colours International Festival has been recognized by The American Bus Association as one of the top Canadian events, and another traditional favourite, the Royal Nova Scotia International Tattoo captures the spirit of our rich military past through a symphony of music and color.

Nova Scotia also offers you the best living history in Canada. Learn about and appreciate our rich and diverse past at an impressive network of museums and heritage sites in historical communities throughout the province, including places like Lunenburg, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Complementing our spectacular scenery, unspoiled nature and living history, we offer a full range of outdoor activities and amenities that are sure to inspire and delight - from delicious seafood dining and kayaking to hiking, whale watching and golfing. We offer world-class golf courses, with SCORE Golf Magazine ranking Highlands Links as the number one public course in Canada in 2002.
